Fudge Urban Iced Raspberry & Vanilla Hairspray Review

There is something that you should know about me, I'm fickle. I very rarely repurchase the same product as I am always eager to try new things. I am also a sucker for nice packaging, and appreciate well thought out graphics and designs (thanks GCSE Graphics!). On the search for a new hairspray, I came across this little beauty in the aisles of Superdrug. Fudge is a brand that I have a limited experience with. Before using this hairspray I had never used a Fudge product, and only knew of the brand as my boyfriend used to use a Fudge hair wax a few years ago. I really did not know what to expect from this purchase, but was enticed by the pretty packaging (well done Fudge design team).

The packaging, oh the packaging. A brightly coloured pink and orange affair, it should scream tacky but it doesn't. Somehow the packaging manages to retain a grown-up feel, perhaps due to the lovely brushed metal tube that adds a (literal) touch of class. All in all the packaging is eye-catching and fun, and makes a welcome addition to my dressing table.  

The product itself claims '...soft to touch hair and 24 hours of hold. Anti frizz properties smooth and seal loose ends leaving your hair feeling natural while keeping your style in place all day.' In terms of performance this hairspray is a strong hold. I tested the staying power by using this product on an up-do, and the results were fantastic! My hair stayed in place all day and with minimum frizz. The bottle claims that the hairspray is 'soft touch' which I do not necessarily agree with as I found that when applied liberally this hairspray does create the dreaded 'crispy hair' effect. However, this could be easily remedied as the product was incredibly easy to brush out, leaving my hair feeling soft.

The scent, Iced Raspberry and Vanilla, is pleasantly sweet, not too overpowering, and lingers in the hair throughout the day - a huge bonus! I usually avoid trying to use hairspray as I detest the smell, but this Fudge hairspray scent is so lovely that I find myself using the product for the scent alone.

I am very impressed with this Fudge Urban hairspray and will definitely be repurchasing it. I liked this product so much that will also be looking to purchase more products from the Fudge brand in the near future - I currently have my eye on the Raspberry and Vanilla styling mousse! The Fudge Urban Iced Raspberry & Vanilla hairspray retails for £4.99 is available from Superdrug.
